Virtual Foodbanking
FoodShare is FoodForward SA’s very own digital platform using technology to connect our beneficiary organisations to their nearest food retail partner store, for the regular collection of quality surplus food. In this way, FoodShare is capable of providing access to quality food to the most remote areas across the country.
Warehouse Foodbanking
We source, collect, and store edible surplus food from the supply chain – farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – and redistribute this food to our network of vetted Beneficiary Organisations (BOs) across South Africa.
Mother and Child Nutrition
We provide nutritious food parcels to targeted households, where pregnant and nursing mothers, and children up to 5 years are malnourished.
Mobile Rural Depot
The MRD programme was established to ensure greater access to food for vulnerable, rural communities. Using our refrigerated trucks, we take nutritious monthly food provisions to our vetted rural Beneficiary Organisations (BOs), reaching 160,000 vulnerable people in 29 rural communities across South Africa.
School Breakfast Programme
In partnership with Kelloggs and PepsiCo, we provide nutritious breakfast cereals and milk to 50,000 children across South Africa – in crèches, primary and secondary schools – every school day.
Food Gardens Connect
We empower unemployed individuals by teaching them to grow their own food and offering a guaranteed buy-back for their produce, enabling sustainable income through agriculture.
Disaster Relief
We timeously and effectively respond to various disasters affecting vulnerable communities.
Youth Internships
We provide a SETA-accredited internship programme for unemployed youth, focusing on warehousing, logistics, and stock management.
